I got the ST online and same as someone else mentioned--upgraded to best package. Actually kind of disappointed. The picture is good most of the time, but fades to blurry at others. Also, once games start at 1pm and you try to get in it takes forever to load. I've missed two opening drives because of that. Also when you switch to other games it's not as fast as I'd like and some simply don't load--and not the ones that are being broadcast locally. It's annoying. And I have solid, fast internet that is very consistent. Other pages open and close quickly--the ST online just is often slow. I made sure one week to log in around 12:15 or 12:30, so I didn't miss the opening drive. I think that worked.
I did the monthly payments. Ended up not paying for the second month and just streamed online for free like I used to. Comparable quality and same levels of loading/etc. I'm not sure yet if I'll pay for month 3. I was definitely hoping it'd be stress free and consistent and the loading problems wouldn't exist.
Plus, you don't get the nationally broadcast games including the night games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday. So I honestly don't know how great the deal is. Especially for someone like me, who just has internet and no cable (by choice).
